![]() ![]() Voiced by Fumi Hirano in Japanese, by Martha Ellen Senseney in the English Those Obnoxious Aliens, by Larissa Murray in BBC Choice's Lum the Invader Girl dub, by Shannon Settlemyre (in movies 1, 3-6 in English), and Roxanne Beck (Movie 2 dub). Differences between human and “Invader” physiology also drive many stories, like the time Lum’s horns begin to grow larger after she is bitten by a cow, or the time she becomes drunk by eating pickled plums. As an alien she has access to many bizarre gadgets whose use she really doesn’t understand all that well, leading to comic results. Unfortunately, Lum's idea of "cooking" is to take very spicy ingredients like jalapenos, cayenne peppers and Tabasco sauce and irradiate them with an alien energy bazooka until they carbonize into inedible, crystallized nuggets. Her dream in life is to live in a “Sweet Home with Darling” in which she keeps house and raises babies while Ataru, her "Darling," works a job. While generally good-natured, sweet, faithful, and innocent, Lum also has a very hot temper. Except when in her school girl’s uniform or common clothes (consisting of jeans, sneakers, a tee-shirt with a jacket) she usually wears a sexy outfit consisting of a tiger-striped bikini and knee-high go-go boots. She is extremely popular and is famous for ending her sentences with ~ daccha (loosely translated as “yes?” or “you know?”). She is a beautiful Oni alien who is capable of flying and generating electrical shocks and even lightning (resembling the thunder oni Raijin, even in one instance Ataru dreamt of Lum wearing the same drums on her back as Raijin). Lum (also referred to in some Western versions as Lamu - since her name in Japanese is technically pronounced "Ramu") is the female protagonist of the series. In the French dub of the Urusei Yatsura anime, Ataru's name is Ronnie. Voiced by Toshio Furukawa (original Japanese) and Michael Sinterniklaas ( Those Obnoxious Aliens dub), Steve Rassin, and Vinnie Penna (English Movies). Though he often tries to escape from Lum and openly flirts with other women, he truly loves Lum but steadfastily refuses to admit it. Ataru may come across as stupid and lazy, but he is actually quite intelligent, able to manipulate situations to his advantage. This tenacity can work to his advantage in dire times, as it makes him determined to succeed regardless of the odds. Once he decides to go after a particular female, virtually no force on Earth or any other place in the galaxy can stop him. If Lum, who views him as her husband, should witness these usually futile efforts, she regularly zaps him with massive quantities of electricity, but they do nothing to slow him down. Usually, he just walks up to a woman he's never met before and asks for her name, phone number, and address. His main goal in life is to live in the center of a harem composed of exotic and beautiful women, including most of Lum's alien friends. Also, a rokuyō calculation indicates this date to be a Shakkō, unlucky except within an hour of midday, not a Butsumetsu.)Ītaru is very lecherous. (Note: The only sources giving the year of his birth indicate that he was born in 1967, but April 13 of that year was a Thursday, not a Friday. His victory statement, intended to confirm his then-girlfriend Shinobu's promise to marry him if he won, was misinterpreted by Lum to be a marriage proposal. Thanks to this lack of good fortune, his triumph in the game of tag that saved Earth from Oni invasion turned into a defeat for him. A lazy student at Tomobiki High School, Class 2-4, Ataru suffers from an incredible amount of bad luck, having been born on Friday the Thirteenth, during a major earthquake, and Butsumetsu, the unluckiest day of the Buddhist calendar. Ataru Moroboshi is the main protagonist of the series. ![]()
